Now out in Science! Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of the cell cycle. In @vcushing.bsky.social's magnum opus, we use #cryoEM to figure out how the CDK-activating kinase recognises CDKs to fully activate them - a key step in cell cycle control. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Structural basis of T-loop–independent recognition and activation of CDKs by the CDK-activating kinase
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are prototypical regulators of the cell cycle. The CDK-activating kinase (CAK) acts as a master regulator of CDK activity by catalyzing the activating phosphorylation o...

Very excited to start 2025 sharing our latest work @ppuigserverb.bsky.social published in @naturecellbiology.bsky.social! We have shown that the cytosolic chaperone PPID/CYP40 inserts TOM70, connecting chaperones and mitochondrial protein biogenesis to the development of chronic metabolic disorders

Thrilled to share our new paper @Chouchani Lab in Cell; what a great way to end this year! We establish a deep mapping of the zinc-binding human cysteine proteome (ZnCPT) and discover glutathione reductase as zinc-targetable cancer vulnerability. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

The human zinc-binding cysteine proteome
A deep mapping of the human zinc-binding cysteine proteome (ZnCPT) defines thousands of zinc-binding protein cysteines across major domains of biology and discovers glutathione reductase as zinc-targetable cancer vulnerability.
